Answer 1

To interpret geometrically the factors of a quadratic expression of the type x² + 6x + 8 using square grids strips and paper slips follow the below steps:

• To represent the factors of a quadratic expression of the type x² + 6x + 8 we require,
• 1 square tile representing x²  (blue)
• 6 algebra tiles representing x and (green)
• 8 algebra tiles representing 1. (yellow)
• By splitting the middle term of the given polynomial we get the expression
• x² + 6x + 8 = (x + 4) (x + 2)
• Consider the attached figure for geometrical interpretation using square grids strips and paper slips.
